Killing Animals is Killing the Planet!

Believe it or not, many people who care about the
environment still have no idea that raising animals for food is so incredibly
destructive.

Consider some of these facts:

Animal agriculture uses a whopping 56 percent of
water in the United States. In fact, just one hamburger requires 660
gallons of water to produce—the equivalent of 2 months’ worth of showers.

Because animals are so densely packed on today's industrial
farms, they produce more manure than can be absorbed by the land as fertilizer.
The runoff from these facilities grossly contaminates rivers and ground water.
